Most users of word & powerpoint are fairly basic users, but if you’re using excel for work then there’s a surprisingly high likelyhood you’re using a sheet written by a wizard with arcane skills in it with the number of VB macros, pivot tables, and things most people don’t even know exist.
Even if you’re just a user and not creating them, and their functionality would better work in a dedicated program or a database, chances are it’d still break unless you’re very lucky.
Looking in that thread it seems to be largely small scale/fine tuning where the data is cherrypicked… they’re not considering the corporations which create the models they’re finetuning in the first place
Us politics isn’t about economics anyway, especially when you’ve got Republicans raising taxes sky high and restricting free trade. It’s about social and cultural issues more than ever these days.
That study is for notetaking though, as you copy verbatim when typing but more concisely when writing, making you process the information and not just the words.
When you’re doing something that requires thought anyway, you’re already processing the information so they’re equally good?
What if it’s a convolution though 🤔
That’s why we invented bridges and viaducts, we didn’t want the trains to feel left out
Yes, but for human related reasons. Humans moved them around a lot in Africa and Asia - moving them from Southeast Asia to India and Madagascar is bound to have an impact on the currents they get caught up in.
Exactly, 60k rows is negligible enough in most cases that you can just treat it as free unless you’re doing a cross join on it or something, unless he’s doing something like using an unordered text file as his database with no ram or cache
It’s not evil, you’re providing a service by offering the product in a more familar environment to people, but still it’d be good to be transparent about it rather than pretending you’re the seller
All of space is moving, you need to fix a reference point, there’s nothing to stop you making it earth
Libertarian ≠ capitalist… It’s just a diet version of anarchism at its core which hustlers are trying to rebrand as being purely pro-business.
There’s even Libertarian Socialism
My sister did, you just need approval from some government offices so you don’t get mice that’ve had rabies-ebola-smallpox-anthrax tested on them getting out
A substantial amount of this inequality can be explained by further racial disparities in the benefits of high skill work experience
This sounds like a coded way of saying people with less money and fewer connections get less well paying jobs with worse progression, and more recent immigrants and descendants of slaves are less likely to have money and powerful connections…
Is almost like this is another example of trying to divide people by race when the actual split is by social class
There’s a difference between libertarians and republicans looking to make more money. Most of the supposedly anti-taxation anti-regulation billionaires just want less tax for them and fewer regulations for their business; everyone else and especially imported products can be taxed more to give the billionaire’s company more subsidies, and regulations to prevent competitors from growing or starting up is even more welcome. Even when it comes to personal freedoms, they don’t care and will gladly support the government in reducing those freedoms if it earns them some sway.
This all goes directly against the libertarian principles of government non-intervention in the free market and people’s personal lives, both of which are vastly more important than just reducing taxes, which supposedly comes as a side effect later (even if in reality taxes would probably stay the same as you’d need to provide more assistance to low income people)
This isn’t to say that more principled libertarians are necessarily noble or right or whatever compared to people who just want lower taxes, just that saying it’s about reducing taxes and giving power to corporations is buying in to the direction that corporations are trying to move the ideology in
Be generally aligned with the right
It’s gotta be authoritarian right though… I can’t see a pro-immigration, pro-choice, pro-gun, anti-tariff, anti-corruption (generally pro-freedom, that thing republicans pretend to like) libertarian getting anywhere with trump, it wouldn’t surprise me if a tankie got along better given they’re into most of the things trump likes
if any of these startups succeed, my condolences to the engineers who get hired afterwards and are stuck bugfixing
This is any successful startup - you don’t succeed by making a perfect product, you succeed by making a buggy mess that’s enough to convince both investors and more importantly customers that there’s potential… That means you need to rebuild from scratch in years 2-4 anyway, so frankly for the engineers who are coming in then, there’s little to no difference
⅔ may be overestimating, but yes, they’re native to all of the Middle East and Africa, and most of Europe (outside of Scandinavia) and mainland Asia (outside of deserts, Siberia etc.)
Most places is a stretch… They’re invasive in around ⅓ of Earth’s land area and where less than ¼ of people live
That article seems very new-world-centric
Europe, Mainland Asia & Africa all have native small cats and so the birds and small mammals have evolved to deal with them, the issue is that in Australia & the Americas they haven’t and so that’s where all the risk of species actually being wiped out is - in the old world the cats largely just replace the larger predators that humans have killed off in the ecosystem
Yeah, it’s a classic of locking you in and hiking up the prices, and the people capable of porting those sheets are probably way too overworked dealing with supporting the vast majority who have no idea how they work to spend time on it (or getting fired by Elon for not doing anything while being the single block that supports the tower)
It sucks, but I wouldn’t give up on trying to get them to convert, just be aware that it’s very possible that this will be one of the biggest technical (as opposed to administrative) blocks.
